sprite

layers on layers of cotton or other natural fibers. Works fine too.

5:31 am

carleekat

silk amazing insulator

5:32 am

rubyfoo

if you stick in one layer of silk, it makes up for several layers of cotton! I tend to look like the michelin man -- one layer of cotton, one of silk, one of alpaca, most days

5:32 am

herinfernallady

Hi Carlee

5:32 am

rubyfoo

this is a cold house!

5:32 am

carleekat

cotton not good next to skin...it stays wet...if u should sweat..making u cold...whereas wool has property of staying warm even if wet

5:32 am

rubyfoo

hello carlee, snap!

5:32 am

sprite

hi carlee! Yes indeed, I have a silk whatsitcalled... a shawl? Big thing that I can wear around neck or shoulders or both. Is cozily warm!

5:33 am

rubyfoo

I have silk long underwear from my skiing days, it is wonderful here -- and machine-washable

5:33 am

sprite

yeah but wool on my skin is worse. Way too itchy and I am allergic to it.

5:33 am

carleekat

hi..i said hi a while ago :)

5:34 am

carleekat

Oh lady, I do have a part of a fish, will that do?

5:40 am

herinfernallady

5:40 am

5:55 am

carleekat

i;ll spend some time looking then get impatient

5:56 am

rubyfoo

how did you feel about that humongous grid day before yesterday? I felt like I wasted my whole day

5:56 am

carleekat

i stopped at halfway....i like grids at the 150 - 200 range...so...it ws perfect :)

5:57 am

rubyfoo

I got a little past half and then felt ridiculous, having squandered my time like that.

5:57 am

rubyfoo

Admittedly, it was a nice grid but, on a weekday?

5:57 am

carleekat

i am packing..i cant afford to waste my time..i move in 10 days

5:59 am

rubyfoo

10 days! hard time for you

6:13 am

gramma

Hi everyone. I have to ask the smartest people I know. My husband and I were just outside, when we saw what at 1st we thought were ashes coming down from over our roof. They just kept falling around the house. Upon closer examination, we saw that they were feathers. A whole lot of feathers! Front yard- side yard-back yard..everywhere. We live in the country. There were no birds in sight. What the?

6:14 am

rubyfoo

are upi on Bebe Arkansas?

6:14 am

rubyfoo

they had 1000's of dead birds happen on New Years' Eve!

6:14 am

rubyfoo

that was "are you"

6:14 am

egsnorris

maybe a flock of canada geese just went through a jumbo jets engine?

6:14 am

rubyfoo

that is very creepy

6:15 am

gramma

Although we didn't see or hear a plane, my husband theorizes a flock was hit by a plane. We live in Vermont

6:15 am

egsnorris

or the angels are having a pillow fight

6:15 am

rubyfoo

could you tell what kind of feathers, i.e. big or little?

6:15 am

rubyfoo

I'll go with angels!!!!

6:15 am

gramma

I have never seen anything like it in my life!

6:16 am

ladycece920

i like egs explanation!

6:16 am

gramma

Some are small sort of downy looking and only a couple so far are regular medium size.

6:16 am

rubyfoo

did you walk around the neighborhood to see how widespread it was?

6:17 am

gramma

There is no neighborhood. We live on a farm with 336 acres.

6:17 am

egsnorris

Less romantic than angels but most probably migrating ducks or geese macerated by an aeroplane

6:17 am

rubyfoo

i THINK YOU SHOULD CALL THE LOCAL UNIVErsity. Sorry for the caps, the phone startled me

6:18 am

gramma

I will call the college later. It's too early for anybody to be about. Thanks for the ideas

6:20 am

rubyfoo

on phone with sister

6:23 am

carleekat

do you have any wind farms near u gramma?

6:24 am

carleekat

there alot of studies going on that teh turbulance generated by they turbines of the wind farms are messignn with the inner radar of the migratory birds...

6:25 am

gramma

We don't have any wind farms near here.

6:25 am

gramma

6:37 am

6:40 am

SeaSpray

several months ago there was a similar incident in the south I think, but it was the whole bird coming down, thousands of them, they attributed it to lightning

6:40 am

carleekat

that was red wing black birds

6:40 am

rubyfoo

that was in Beebe Arkansas, seaspray

Angelsong

vanilla. welcome! 67 is not bad; there are 155 worrds today.

10:05 am

Bugsaw

vanilla don't forget to add the plural and past tense endings to your words. you could get more. Gerund ending means ING but it is not here today. Welcome

10:08 am

vanillaslice

zoozzoom

Nope no help..but many thanks any way, Owl :-)

12:11 pm

hootowl

well first 4 letters remain the same - then add first 2 letters of a picure in an ad

12:11 pm

zoozzoom

The cheek of your boss, Scribekd, does he/she not know how important babbling is :-)

12:11 pm

scribekd

obviously not! doesn't share the addiction

12:11 pm

zoozzoom

Got it!!

12:11 pm

zoozzoom

Thanks, Owly :-)

12:12 pm

scribekd

it is nice to be a grunt-my boss is a nice lady but also can be lenient

12:15 pm

scribekd

i understand but it is difficult to start at lunch & then leave it alone!

12:16 pm

hootowl

oh yeah - get into a rhythm and have to stop! PITA

12:16 pm

Nef

:-) that's why I don't play at work. I never want to stop if I'm still finding WORDS

12:17 pm

scribekd

a practice I may have to embark upon, Nef

12:17 pm

hootowl

didn't have babble when I was working but I did belong to a couple of handyman sites.

12:17 pm

Nef

I only stop when I can't see anymore words

12:17 pm

zoozzoom

Owl i am puzzled..i have all the `N`s now but the 8 is not grayed?

12:18 pm

hootowl

my job was one of those run around like a dervish - then nap for a day or two.

12:18 pm

scribekd

even then, the mind is still trying to jiggle out a word anyway!

12:18 pm

flosey

zooz, the 8 starts gy8/65

12:18 pm

zoozzoom

Ahh ok, thanks, Flosey :-)

12:19 pm

It is ok, Owl, you don`t have to go :-(

12:19 pm

flosey

12:20 pm

Nef

12:20 pm

zoozzoom

Congrats on finishing, Flosey :-)

12:41 pm

Nef

I've "known" Dorens for years here; I envy the fact you will meet her!

12:42 pm

uusue2

She will be my first real-life babbler :-)

12:44 pm

Nef

I haven't met any real life Babblers yet. I'd planned a meet up in MT last summer when a nephew got married out there, but DH got sick and we couldn't go

12:47 pm

HelenaB

is there a rule for what kinds of spanish words are used in the grid? I speak french, so I try those words sometimes (and sometimes, they win) but it seems there are a lot of spanish words. Is there a rule or standard? Ones that are common enough in english?

12:47 pm

redturtlehead

Hello all again. Helena, the game uses this dictionary called enable, and nothere seems to be no rhyme or reason.

12:48 pm

HelenaB

ok, thanks - just wondering ;-)

12:48 pm

Nef

danged if I know, Helena, It seems to be a fluke to me (I don't speak anything but English; and sometimes my family questions if I know that one too!)

12:48 pm

redturtlehead

Although I tried a ton of Spanish words in the huge grid the other day and they did not accept any of them. they were like, real spanish verbs, not spanglish stuff...

12:48 pm

Nef

hi red

12:49 pm

HelenaB

ha, yeah, i try every french word I see - they are "real" words about 10% of the time

12:52 pm

redturtlehead

hey Nef.

12:52 pm

redturtlehead

I did half of my spring cleaning today and ran 4 miles and now suddenly I am exhausted.

12:52 pm

uusue2

wow, red, I am exhausted just reading about it?

12:52 pm

uusue2

!

12:52 pm

Nef

wow! And this is a day off, too?

12:55 pm

Nef

brb, need food

1:14 pm

Aloyisius

oe

1:14 pm

uusue2

oi!

1:18 pm

Nef

back. Eating leftover chili helps with the thinking (or I hope it will!)

1:19 pm

uusue2

well, it should even if it doesn't :-)

1:19 pm

Nef

yep; that's my thinking too

1:21 pm

uusue2

incidentally, nef, the occupational therapist really was very helpful - gave dad a few tips on using the sock aid, and pointed out that the commode had a splash guard :-)

1:22 pm

Nef

Glad the OT helped! :-) I was really impressed how much extra advice my DH got when he was sick from his OT.

1:22 pm

Nef

so you got him a sock aid that works well for him?

1:23 pm

uusue2

you'd think a mechanical engineer and a physicist could figure out a commode, but nooooo :-)

1:23 pm

uusue2

Yes, it seems to be working fine; I haven't helped him with his socks for several days now.

1:24 pm

Nef

I just re-read my previous post (the "glad you liked it...." one) That certainly is back wards, isn't it?

1:24 pm

uusue2

:-0

1:25 pm

Nef

well, the 2 of you aren't experienced in medical device stuff! :-)

1:25 pm

uusue2

exactly. But now we are :-)

1:26 pm

Nef

for these items, anyway

1:26 pm

uusue2

precisely.

1:28 pm

Nef

I thought I knew a lot about medical devices and how to transfer patients, etc. But although I *do* know how those work in a hospital, using them and working with things that work for DH was a whole new experience for me

1:29 pm

uusue2

indeed. anyway, we are off again, more errands. bbl!!

1:30 pm

Nef

So; an old dog can be taught now tricks! ;-)

1:30 pm

Nef

bye now!

72 Temple Owl

7:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:34 pm

featherbee

:) hi

7:34 pm

redturtlehead

TY seain. fish me for that.

7:35 pm

redturtlehead

'lo feather!

7:35 pm

dcseain

Tom has spent most of the week in bed, eating meals there, too. All those meals have come from bowls and needed a spoon, though.

7:35 pm

featherbee

we had a case of bedbugs discovered on a child at our school a month ago. the teacher involved had a heart attack that week, when her daughter had eaten a granola bar in her bed, and she pulled back the covers to discover little bug like crumbs all over!

7:36 pm

dcseain

LOL feather. poor lady

7:36 pm

featherbee

yup! gave us all a giggle to hear it though.

7:36 pm

redturtlehead

oh no.

7:36 pm

redturtlehead

I hoep TOm is ok>

7:36 pm

redturtlehead

?

7:37 pm

dcseain

he is, red. just been in pain so taking it very easy

7:37 pm

dcseain

he's going through evals for a heart or heart/lung transplant.

7:38 pm

redturtlehead

yikes DC. lung? what are the stats on lungs?

7:38 pm

dcseain

he has a patch of congenital emphysema in his left lung

7:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

omg seain, what happened?

7:39 pm

dcseain

his hypertrophic cardiomyopathy came back 6 months after his myectomy

7:39 pm

dcseain

and the heart has misaligned fibres, which is part of the HOCUM problem

7:39 pm

featherbee

wow, i didn't know that. i hope he gets the transplant quickly.

7:39 pm

JBV

good evening - and seain I have no idea what that means, but I wish you and TOm the very best -

7:39 pm

dcseain

myectomy was the procedure we went to Cleveland for last September.

7:40 pm

dcseain

feather, he's an RN, is only 40, so if approved would end up high on the list due to profession and relative youth

7:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh my.

7:40 pm

dcseain

ty, jbv

7:40 pm

JBV

that's good news

7:40 pm

dcseain

as in, he'd likely get transplanted w/in 3-6 months once put on list.

7:40 pm

featherbee

that's good then

7:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

what does profession have to do ith it?

7:41 pm

dcseain

long recovery, but much improved life afterward. We have a friend who's been through a heart transplant, and he and his wife have been a really valuable resource

7:41 pm

MollyL

Seain, sorry to read all this about Tom. I will keep him in my good thoughts and prayers.

7:41 pm

dcseain

certain professions have fewer people going into them, so that helps with the list.

7:42 pm

dcseain

for some types of transplant

7:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

where would he go?

7:43 pm

dcseain

VCU Medical Center in Richmond, VA

7:44 pm

dcseain

VCU -- Virginia Commonwealth University. VCU Med Center used to be the Medical College of Virginia.

7:44 pm

dcseain

Richmond is nearest to us Heart/lung transplant center. Philly is next nearest

7:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

temple?

7:45 pm

dcseain

not sure, but that would seem likely, TO

7:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

i wish him the best

7:45 pm

dcseain

thank you all for your thoughts/prayers. You all have been wonderfully supportive through so much, and i appreciate it.

7:45 pm

redturtlehead

I had no idea profession played into transplanting...wow.

7:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

me neither.

7:47 pm

featherbee

i've been gone from the chog too long, had no idea. i also didn't really understand much of what you said was wrong, other than the emphysema

7:47 pm

redturtlehead

But I suppose all I have ever had experience with was taking care of people afterwards, r getting them ready.

7:48 pm

nrkii

seain, please give Tom my best... I will keep you both in my prayers

7:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:50 pm

dcseain

Yeah, he's much less social than i am :)

7:51 pm

redturtlehead

Well, let him know I am thinking of him. We have a Hate hate relationship right now between the ICU and the ED. but for him, I shall make an exception!

7:51 pm

dcseain

he was diagnosed at age 27, had the myectomy (they removed a chunk of his septum -- that divides the lower heart chambers) at 38

7:51 pm

dcseain

Mark Jones

Hi nef

9:43 pm

Nef

hi Mark. I'm kind of slow today.

9:43 pm

dcseain

9:44 pm

jesdraggon

nbt

9:44 pm

Mark Jones

I totally understand. I am slow too, due to a week of two tests per day. Uuuuuuugggggggghhhhh,

9:44 pm

Nef

that's interesting. I wonder why? I've always thought that Spanish, like Italian and French, was a Latin-based language

9:45 pm

dcseain

go, go jes!

9:45 pm

dcseain

it is, though there's a heavy Basque influence on Spanish and Portuguese.

9:45 pm

Mark Jones

Can i have the other m word? I have an me4/5

9:45 pm

dcseain

Spanish is a tad closer to Latin than even Italian in some ways

9:46 pm

dcseain

me5 -- like a stone ma5

9:46 pm

Mark Jones

Ty dc

9:46 pm

jesdraggon

thanks dc

9:46 pm

Nef

I've wasted a lot of pychic energy being upset with a co-worker and the fact that I have to work "a lot" this month; so I'm paying for that today (just can't stay awake at all today!)

9:47 pm

Mark Jones

I have a friend whose name is Ma*** and it is his birthday today.

9:47 pm

jesdraggon

that phantom dagger keeps bothering me

9:47 pm

Mark Jones

Huh?

9:48 pm

dcseain

9:48 pm

Nef

LOL, jes! Now I see it too!

9:48 pm

Mark Jones

Cool.

9:48 pm

dcseain

The Phantom Dagger -- was that a hardy boys book?

9:50 pm

Nef

I have no idea, seain; but dagger is a phantom in this grid now for me

9:50 pm

Mark Jones

Oh, now i must leave. Bedtime! Good night everyone.

9:50 pm

Nef

dcseain

9:50 pm

Nef

9:52 pm

Nef

I don't think I ever read the Hardy Boys, seain. I did read Nancy Drew and just about every other book for kids; but I don't remember any Hardy Boys

9:52 pm

dcseain

i read a few Nancy Drews, but did not find them engaging. My sister read them though. She did not find Hardy Boys engaging, go fig ;)

9:53 pm

dcseain

i did like the Little House on the Prairie series though

9:53 pm

lbdawger

9:56 pm

dcseain

I did read a few Boppsy Twins, yes, my grandparents brought them down with a couple boxes of my mom's childhood things. I also have a coulpe volumes of The Dreadnought Boys

9:56 pm

dcseain

9:56 pm

Nef

Cool!

9:57 pm

Nef

When were they written? Just the name sounds interesting

9:57 pm

dcseain

9:57 pm

dcseain

9:58 pm

dcseain

9:58 pm

Nef

Jacula

Hi anyone who's still here. I finished the grid many hours ago, but I still think 'daggy' should be a word. It describes shit covered sheep tails. That's farming for you!

10:14 pm

Jacula

When you get the hand shears down the side of the tails to remove the dangling tags/dags of sh*t, it's called 'dagging'.

10:16 pm

Jacula

If you don't perform this service for sheep, before dipping time, you may smell the horrible odour of 'sheep dead by fly strike'. Believe me, there is nothing like it! Smell it once and say NEVER AGAIN!

10:17 pm

Jacula

The same service sometimes needs to be done for neglected rabbits.

10:17 pm

stidgmere

Hi Jacula. Almost ready to stop. 22 left and now going to finish. Thanks for the update on sheep keeping.

10:18 pm

Jacula

Hid stidge. Nice to see you. If you need a clue before finishing, just ask.

10:19 pm

stidgmere

Thanks but I am pretty brain dead. Just wanted to say hello.

10:19 pm

Jacula

HI, not 'HID'.

10:19 pm

Jacula

Hello Stidge. It's nice that you stayed to greet me. Thank you.

10:20 pm

stidgmere

Take care until next time, then.

10:20 pm

Jacula

You, too, Stidge.x
